This past Saturday featured the final regular season games in the 2016/2017 CUC Primary Football League (PFL) and Girls’ Primary Football League (GPFL) and the chance for schools to qualify for either the Champions Cup and Consolation Cup competitions, which are scheduled to kick off this Saturday, December 3rd.
